Senator Rand Paul told This Week that Barack Obama has lost the moral authority to lead.
“The constellation of these three scandals ongoing really takes away from the President’s moral authority to lead this nation.”
The Politico reported:
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul claimed on Sunday that President Barack Obama is losing the “moral authority” to lead the country.
“I think the constellation of these three scandals really takes away from the president’s moral authority to lead the nation,” Paul said on ABC’s “This Week.” “No one questions his legal authority. But I really think he’s losing the moral authority to lead this nation.”
So far, Obama hasn’t been directly linked to any of the three controversies the White House is currently battling: the IRS targeting of conservative groups, the editing of the Benghazi talking points and the Justice Department’s spying on journalists.
It’s not like Obama cornered the market on moral issues anyway.
